My passion

I'm Catriona, a highly experienced Speech and Language Therapist.

 

I graduated from the University of Strathclyde in 1999 and have been helping children and young people (aged 0-16) with a wide range of communication difficulties ever since.

​

My career has taken me from Ireland to various roles within the NHS Grampian, where I've worked in specialised education, hospitals, and mental health services.

 

These diverse experiences have given me a deep understanding of children's communication needs and the importance of working collaboratively with families and other professionals.

I'm passionate about empowering children through communication, and I believe that every child deserves a voice.

 

As an ambassador for The Makaton Charity, I'm a certified tutor in Makaton, Makaton Safeguarding, The Derbyshire Language Scheme, and Elklan.

 

I love using these tools to help children connect and express themselves.
